I am not sure where his man is on this play but it looks to me that he is in the right position and looking at the right place( Freeney) if he were to get free, so while I agree at times he looks like he has lost his man, I am not sure this picture is a good example!!!

I agree except maybe he should be looking towards the LOS :D

I seen the play. Allen lost his man on a stunt, but no one else came his way. I don't blame him, he would have had to come across the line to find someone rushing. I could see if Hampton blew him out of the way, but that wasn't the case. They ran away from him, a common technique used against Allen throughout his career.

No matter what Larry was doing, that IS A GREAT PHOTOGRAPH. Was this a personal photo or off a news service?

Evidence of attempted blocking!

Nice to see the big uglies getting some camera time... :)

The photographer should've gotten some good $$ for this one.

Larry is doing exactly what he should be doing in that photo. At the snap, he briefly blocked Stroud, who stunted to the other side of the center. He looked for a blitzer, then turned to see if Freeney was going inside Samuels, in which case he could help block Freeney. You can't always be blocking someone, when there's nobody to block.

You should be telling Mike Wahle to block someone, since he's the one getting beaten by Hampton for a sack.

It's useless Adam, but thanks for trying. Mike Wahle and Steve Hutchinson are Gods on the football field, Larry Allen is fat, lazy, and useless, and the grass is always greener elsewhere. :rolleyes:

Wahle allowed a sack yesterday, and Hutchinson allowed half a sack (Stroud beat Hutchinson for half a sack, as Derrick Burgess beat Walter Jones for the other half). Larry didn't allow any sacks.

looks to me he is exactly where he should be. hs guy stunted out, so he looked to see if fweeny was gonna try to come inside. what do ypu want him to do? if he runs back to fweeny then there is a huge hole in the los, where he is seems the right place to block dwight if he comes back inside. some just love bashinmg larry allen

My post was decidedly tongue-in-cheek. I don't need lectures on blocking techniques from so-called salary cap "experts" or anyone else. Chill.

Dear Larry -

Ignore this thread.

Our appologies for our forum armchair QB's who think they know.

For the record. Adam has never once said in his entire history w/ this board that he was any kind of expert on anything. People enjoy that he understands the formulas of the cap. They enjoy that he takes the time to break it down for them. Thats why folks ASK him.

So maybe - you chill. :laugh1:
